Wrong Domain-Name using Apache as Reverse Proxy

Hi!

Now I got finally running seaside behind an apache-1.3-reverse-proxy..
(was not too hard)

But there is a problem now.. I get the wrong links. The links I am
seeing on the site have the domain of the server where the image is
running.. but they need to have the domain of the server where apache
is running.

The links in the site look like this:

a href="http://10.233.200.2/seaside/store"

10.233.200.2 is the address of the machine where the image is running
(as seen from the webserver where the apache reverse-proxy is running)

Should be like this:

a href="http://mybeautifuldomain.com/seaside/store"

Can I tell seaside to use another domain to construct the links?

Thank you
Adrian

 ProxyPass http://192.168.0.2:8008/online
 ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.0.2:8008/online

That works for me, although you can just set the server hostname in the
application properties as well if you can't figure out Apache's side of
things,

(self registerAsApplication: 'online')
  preferenceAt: #serverHostname put: 'www.mybeautifuldomain.com';
  yourself

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Another idea is to use modules like mod_proxy_html or mod_line_edit.
These modules allow to rewrite code within the passed pages, even in
static JavaScript or CSS-Files.

We're using mod_line_edit in a similar scenario and it works fine.
Mod_proxy_html has replaced wrong parts when there were two replacements
within a script-tag.

Regards,
  David

That's the key line here, but it only works on Apache 2.x.  I'd
recommend you upgrade to that from 1.3 if at all possible...

Cheers,

Will upgrade to 2.x in the near future yes.

For now I simply entered the desired hostname 2 times in the
Web-Interface (Configure - Server - "Resource Base Url" and "Server
Hostname")  and it does what was needed.

I was curious and read in an apache 2.x book:

"ProxyPreserveHost On  passes the host-header of the request to the
remote server"
(This is exactly what I was looking for)

And: "this is normally only useful in configurations when name-based
virtual hosts are used"
(This is what I am doing here)

Thank you all for your help.I keep learning so much here.

Cheers
Adrian

Did not know mod_line_edit exists. Very Interesting stuff! For now I
solved it changing
the seaside config.

I imagine mod_line_edit adds some overhead, which in my case can be
avoided. Because if seaside inserts the correct hostname from the
beginning (being told so in it's config or by the apache
request-header) it is not necessary to change it back.

Cheers
Adrian
